Jalen Brunson's performance today is why FG% doesn't mean shit. Real killers don't see or feel a bad shooting night. They always think the next ones going in.

“I’m attracted to the dark side of greatness. The gap between a hero and a villain is very similar to the gap between winning and losing and good to great. The gap is so much closer than people think” - Joe Mazzulla

I asked DeMarcus Cousins his thoughts on potentially seeing LeBron James’ last ever game in the NBA. He gave an incredibly thoughtful and reflective response:

“I think he’s got another 10 years left. For a guy who I grew up watching as a kid, I was a part of his camps as a young kid – it will be a sad day. I’m a guy that appreciates LeBron James. I know a lot of people hate him, I’m a guy that appreciates his legacy and what he’s done for the game and young athletes. Creating a blueprint on how to carry yourself on and off the court, how to take care of your body and be the ultimate professional. I appreciate everything he’s brought to the game. Whenever he decides to make it his last, I hope he gets the flowers he deserves”

“I’m attracted to the dark side of greatness. The gap between a hero and a villain is very similar to the gap between winning and losing and good to great. The gap is so much closer than people think. It’s the very small fundamental details that separate you,” Joe Mazzulla

The immeasurable value of fundamentals.

🏆 Steph Curry dropping a gem for young athletes

“I always talk about earning & deserving the confidence you play with because of the work that you put in.”

“The muscle memory & the reps you put in comes out at the right time.”

“Then I’m having fun.”

Practice makes perfect 💯

[Luka Doncic @lukadoncic]

I am grateful to the NBPA for advocating on my behalf and to the NBA for their fair decision. It was so important to me to be present for the birth of my daughter in December and I appreciate Mark, Jeanie, Rob, JJ, and the entire Lakers organization for fully supporting me and allowing me to travel to be there. This season has been so special to me because of what my teammates and I have been able to accomplish, and I am honored to have the opportunity to be considered for the league’s end-of-season awards.

“Earning and deserving the confidence that you play with because of the work that you put in and then not being afraid of failure,” Steph Curry

Confidence isn’t something you feel, it’s something you earn with relentless will and practice.

Azzi Fudd shares her advice to young girls looking to develop their game:

"I feel like a lot of times, people are so focused on workouts and specific moves and drills instead of just playing free, playing pickup, playing one-on-one and working on your game and your skills."

“Doing what you’re supposed to do when you don’t want to do it, as simple as that. It’s easy to work hard when things are going your way. It’s easy to face the challenges when you win the challenges. When you lose the challenges and you have to keep getting up and doing the same thing,” @shaiglalex

[Nwankudu Osinachi @Osinachi_W]

One is going to tell you a relatable story like story of a nervous teenager and the first time he had sex, loosing his virginity or about a man who lived a troubled street life, died young, and left a message for his daughter so she would understand who he was, the struggles he faced, and the better future he hoped for her.

While the other one will tell you a story of a wealthy man who refuses to give a dollar to a homeless stranger, only to later realize the man was God testing his humility and compassion. Or the story of how his father once served a robber who later became his label boss, showing how one small act of kindness prevented a robbery that could have erased his entire existence.

Boths are amazing story telling rappers. Cole just edges it for me because of his relatability and simplicity.
